Flash Cards
Flash cards are a common way that people study. They write a question, problem, vocabulary word, etc on the front and the answer is on the back of the card. Sometimes flash cards can take a long time especially for vocabulary words with long definitions. So I have invented a shortcut!
For vocabulary words, take any piece of paper and write your vocabulary word. Under it write about 3 synonyms ( words that mean the same thing) for that word. Then to the right, draw a picture of the word. It doesn't have to be a good drawing so use that short cut!
You can also add other things like antonyms or an example of the word in a sentence.

Practice quiz
Sometimes when studying for tests, you should take a quiz to prepare for it. Write/type questions that you think may be on the test along with the answers and ask people to ask you the questions on it while you try to figure out the answer. I love doing this for my science class because we have a test for every chapter we do so I type the important information on the computer and have my parents and friends quiz me.
Other tips
- keep your homework! You can always go over the questions on there
- Go over it with someone. It can be a friend or a relative. Just make sure you stay on topic
- If you need help with studying get a tutor. Tutors can be really nice!
